I forgot, exactly what situation would require this?
Oh yeah, the straight in stop shot with 27 tips of spin...
Not that anybody should be excited about it, or even trying to do it, but I think you've hit on a major reason for the popularity of Predator shafts among non-pro level players. You can screw up and hit 27 tips of side, and the ball still goes in. Hit that with a non-Predator shaft and you probably miss. Contributes to the myth that the Predator is "better" instead of different. In this case it might arguably be so, if the equipment can compensate for lousy mechanics. People with good mechanics shouldn't really care much one way or another depending on what they are used to.
